While we at PETWITHIT love the padded look and feel, the padding is not washable, so spot cleaning is the only option, which is a bummer.
Looking for an option that’s light on your pocket? Here’s the one you should choose. Though it has just one level, the elevated ledge is covered in a super soft fabric. The cat tree also has four scratching posts, and even a toy. This also takes minimal space, and is perfect if you have just one cat.

Ideal for small spaces | Can topple over with strong force |

Includes dangling toys | |
Sisal-covered posts |
We love how this is not the average cat tree, but rather a perfect place for your cat to lounge in, because of the hammock. This makes this cat tree stand out even more. And the affordable price? We have hearts in our eyes.
Did your cat give birth in the recent past? Did you adopt kittens? Whatever might be the case, this cat tree, or should we say kitten tree, is ideal for your household. It has a stairstep design which aids little kitties to jump up easily from one level to another. There are three platforms, and a bolster bed as well. The design is sturdy, and it doesn’t take up massive space.
Pros | Cons |
Stairstep design for kittens | Spot clean only |
Cozy bed at top | One color only |
Sturdy design | |
Three scratcher platforms |
This isn’t washable, so you can spot clean it, which is not the best option specially if the cat tree will be in use of kittens.
Don’t have much space on the floor for a cat tree? Purchase this wall-mounted one. It comprises of three platforms, along with two beds that can be attached via Velcro. The design is interactive and encourages stimulation in cats. The premium E0 grade MDF used satisfies the formaldehyde safety regulations. It also passes the European REACH guidelines.
Pros | Cons |
Three platforms | One color available only |
Two beds | Proper installation needed for safety |
Beds are detachable, and washable | A bit pricy |
Ideal for smaller spaces |
While we think a wall-mounted tree is a modern, and classy design, safety is a big concern. If it isn’t installed properly, it might be really unsafe for use.
Hoomans love a good slide, so do animals. Trust us, cats can be really intrigued by a slide. This slide tree has two bolster beds, a tunnel bed, a kitty condo, and a slide-shaped scratcher.

Pros | Cons |
Multiple color options | Spot clean only |
Three beds | Tunnel may be small for large cats |
Two types of scratchers | |
Big enough for adult large cats |
We hope you are now able to choose a tree for your fur baby. Just take into account the size of your cat and its age while deciding on one for your cat.
Yes, they are very attractive. Your cat will probably get intrigued by the design, the beds, and the scratching post. It will jump on it, or explore its levels. This stimulates your cat.
Yes. They really enjoy them. However, having a cat tree with scratching posts doesn’t guarantee that your cat will stop scratching your furniture entirely.
Buy a cat tree with a scratching post. Direct your cat towards it every time it’s in the mood for scratching. Make sure it is accessible to your cat.
The size matters if you have a kitten. It will probably not be able to jump on higher levels, so you would look for a lower tree. With larger cats, you can take any size you want as long as it fits them.
While this is not a must-have, it’s definitely useful. Playful cats love dangling balls or hanging feathers.
